Interesting video. Boeing spent 32 B on stock buy backs in the last 10 years. The oft quoted number to develop a new single aisle is 6-10 B.
If they had spent the cash 10 years back and started in on a 737 replacement right now it would seem like a bargain.
Irony is if they had - they would have been slated for it.
When did the 787 program stop bleeding money?
